I'm experiencing problems with the download of files from various websites through squid where the file stalls at the same exact point every single time. This happens regardless of client OS or browser (IE, Firefox, wget). For instance one of the problematic files is from Microsoft. The access.log shows this:

There is also nothing in cache.log that eludes to any problem. And tcpdump looks normal, the communication between the client and squid and squid and the server just stops. Any pointers on troubleshooting would be great. Chris
